The Sedative Drugs Used at Dream Dental Clinic Las Vegas
Midazolam
Midazolam is a sedative drug derived from benzodiazepines and is commonly used in dental sedation. It decreases anxiety and causes memory loss with minimal effect on the functioning of your vital organs. Midazolam drug is usually injected into a vein, and you will begin to feel its effect within two to three minutes. Generally, the effects of midazolam sedation last between one to two hours.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), midazolam can be used for adult and pediatric patients. But the drug may have side effects including disorientation, hallucinations, uncontrollable crying or speaking, agitation, restlessness, involuntary movement, and aggressive behavior, including self-injury.

Propofol
Propofol is an injectable sedative that is given directly into a vein. The drug contains glycerol, soybean oil, and egg lecithin. The propofol injection may cause pain unless it is mixed with an anesthetic. It begins to take effect in just about ninety to hundred seconds as the sedative quickly enters the bloodstream. Propofol may be continuously administered over the entire course of the procedure. Once the treatment is complete, you will typically recover soon.
Propofol can be given to both adults and children. However, it should be monitored while administering, as a fall in blood pressure is a known side effect. In addition, propofol should not be given to patients with known allergies to propofol or any of its components, such as soybean products or eggs.

Remimazolam
Remimazolam is a benzodiazepine drug that is injected into the patient's vein by a trained healthcare provider before invasive dental work, minor surgery, or other medical procedure to relax and stay calm. The drug is short-acting and hence is used in the induction and upkeep of sedation during short procedures that last for less than 30 minutes.
